    The SMPS Marketing Communications Awards Program is the longest-standing, most prestigious awards competition that recognizes excellence in marketing communications produced by professional services firms in the design and building industry.

    Our major successes were three-fold.

    First, beyond our paid posts, we received more than 860,000 viral (free) shares and engagements – many times spending less than .001¢ per engagement. This tells us that our content was spot on.

    Second, based on experience, quick reaction and pre-planning, we started a Facebook group related to the Nepal earthquake within minutes of the disaster. Member requests immediately poured in. This group has more than 9,000 active members and follows our developments and successes in Nepal with great enthusiasm. Many project contacts have been made directly through relationships created from this group.

    Finally, with more than 8 million brand exposures across posts, tweets and video views, we have proven that strategy and engaging content can take a small budget to great heights.
